House of Payne (2006)
The first show started a little slow as all new shows, but I really liked it. I liked it because I can relate to every character in the show.
After a slow start with first episode, the show picked up and I give it two thumbs up and kudos to Tyler Perry, and the whole cast of House of Payne. Hopefully, House of Payne will be added to the fall lineup and put in a different time slot perhaps at 8pm. I would love to see Tyler Perry make an occasional appearance on in a while. I think he is hilarious. I have seen his plays and movies and could not stop laughing my side was actually hurting. Another thing I like about his new show, is that there are no stereotypes. I love the fact that there is so much love displayed. It reminds of what my mother said about families always helped each other out (way back when. You don't see a lot of that today.People are selfish and self involved. House of Payne is a positive and family oriented show that I would recommend to Tyler Perry fans and those who have no idea who he is.
The Learning Tree (1969)
The Learning Tree was a good movie and book let;s remember, Gordon Parks was a black man trying to do his own thing at a time when it was hard for black directors
I think Gordon Parks, did a very good job. I saw the Learning Tree as a child, read it as a child and was happy to see it again as an adult, I even gave my son the book. I applaud Gordon Parks for trying perhaps if he had help (not necessarily someone else total directing it could have flowed a little better). I would love to see this film remade, but who could do it, without deviating from the premise and who could capture the cinematography the way Mr. Parks did. Let me know and maybe we could petition Hollywood. There are a lot of talented black directors who probably could remake the movie but would they be interested???. Spike Lee maybe, John Singelton, the Hudlin brothers??? With the way movies (remakes that is) are being made nowadays, I would love to see a high quality remake. The movie would also need high quality actors. I am going to purchase the movie on DVD and watch it again. Well anyway, I respect your opinion and would like to some feedback on my opinion.
